Sophomore safety Antonio Cole, Edmond Oklahoma native, earns his first Scottie 'Athlete of the Week' award after a big time performance in the secondary last Saturday at Fort Scott. Cole's performance helped lead the Scotties to a 20-17 victory, their sixth of the year.
Cole recorded seven total tackles and two interceptions in Highland's 20-17 victory. He returned the interceptions for a total of 50-yards.Â
Â
His second interception came with 1:35 left in the game as Fort Scott was moving the ball inside the Highland red-zone. Tyrik Carmickle broke up a pass up the middle and Cole came down with the pick at the Highland 15-yard line and brought it to the 33-yard line; sealing the victory for the Scotties.Â
Cole has totaled 40 tackles, one forced fumble and three interceptions this season.
On Tuesday afternoon, Cole was named the KJCCC 'Defensive Player of the Week,' his first KJCCCÂ player of the week this season.
Â
The Scotties are 6-3 overall and Nationally ranked 18th. They play host in their last home game of the season to Coffeyville CC on Saturday, November 5th at 1:00pm in Highland, KS.
